31.186.169.8


Reason: unblocked web proxy xx7.nl quacking Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents. JoeSperrazza (talk) 04:00, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * opblocked by EdJohnston. Confirmed by multiple users.  Only contributor from the 31.186.168.0/21 range on which it resides and is owned by virtual hosting provider. Future problems elsewhere on this range will lead to a rangeblock.  Sailsbystars (talk) 13:54, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

184.171.162.90


Reason: Blatant vandalism and has already received final warning. DNS shows that it is used for outgoing traffic on about 11 Peacefire "Circumventor" sites (HTTP proxies) such as:, ,. RA talkcontribs 13:45, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Confirmed open proxy. Static IP.  Needs 1-3 year block.  Sailsbystars (talk) 13:49, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, yikes, lots of other problematic edits from the server range 184.171.160.0/20. Suspect the exit server hops proxies within that range. Thus should be a year or longer rangeblock.  Sailsbystars (talk) 13:59, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

74.117.59.145


I've already blocked it as the whois search threw up certain links listing the ip as proxy. But I've not done a diligent check (e.g. attempting to myself edit using the proxy) as I'm not currently editing on a secure platform. Request a peer review of the block and a subsequent reduced block (to a week) if the initial proxy suspicion is wrong. Thanks.  Wifione    .......  Leave a message  03:03, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Reason: Suspicious edits
 * http://getproxifying.info advertises an open proxy service, and I verified that it works as a web proxy. Just type whatismyip.com into the site's URL field and it reports back 74.117.59.145. Based on this positive finding, I've increased the block to one year and made it a hardblock. EdJohnston (talk) 04:35, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
